THESE ROOTS ARE REAL & UNEQUAL.
-------------------------------------------
X(X-1)-3=5X
X^2-X-3-5X=0
X^2-6X-3=0
USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION:
X=(6+-SQRT[-6^2-4*1*-3])/2*1
X=(6+-SQRT[36+12])/2
X=(6+-SQRT48)/2
X=(6+-6.928) /2
X=(6+6.928)/2
X=12.928/2
X=6.46 ANSWER.
X=(6-6.928)/2
X=-.928/2
X=-.46 ANSWER.
